Nice! That was it, just chown nagios.nagios /etc/nagios/resources.cfg like you said and it works now. Just to make it clear I wasn't using the nagios script for restarts but just doing 'kill -1'.

The file with the "private" macros was 0600 root:root, but should have been 0600 nagios:nagios. I assume that nagios reads this file as root at startup, but at a reload it's running as user nagios... The solution was, obviously, a simple chown nagios. /etc/nagios/resource.cfg for me.
